Well, now that Chinese company found out their weak spot on how much they depend on foreign patents they will start to develop their own.
Stakes are too high and too sudden, thus a sort of an agreement will be reached. But in the long run Chinese government has learnt a lesson, develop indigenous critical components.
They have the market, the mfg capabilities and R&D resources. China is not the USSR. And the world is not like it was back then.

oh, come on. It's not a question of "evil media empires/tycoon" again poor and safely harboured streaming platform.
If I am an advertiser, why on earth should I pay Mediaset instead of vimeo while both have the same content? I would sponsor the latter, cheaper because they do not even have to spend money to produce the content they stream.

"...Do Blackmagic really think his subscribers are there for camera news? Do his subscribers even need ProRes? It’s easy to see the allure of a K-pop video with an incredible 7 million views on YouTube but the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K footage is all shot in a zoo and out of those 300,000 subscribers just 14,000 of them have watched the footage! .."
Uhm, on that I would not be so sure.
There a TON of wannabe youtuber and nowadays are either your phone or a top end cameras, nothing in btw the 2 ends: lot of people will think they need the best camera in order to make their small youtube channel grow.
You can see how those successful youtuber with millions of subscribers DO say which gear they use, and their followers duly take notice...

In order to put this unfolding drama to an end, I'd propose we use the youtuber's way to end these disputes: a boxing match btw Andrew Reid vs. John Brawley (or a BM rep chosen in this forum).
The venue might be the same Manchester's gin distillery where the BM event was held.
The match has to be streamed live on vimeo, still to be decided whether to use a BMPCC 4k OR a Olympus E-M10 III.

?? Spot on!.
Andrew, BM behaviour is 100% in line with what you wrote about the Canon R event, thus why invite people as you at the Manchester event?
If BM flew a guy from italy , they might expect he'd be "grateful", you just walking there....not so.

Agree, I just wanted to point out that this is not what people think as the lightweight & superstrong "carbon fiber", but a"heavy" traditional plastic (which is already used by camera manufacturers) reinforced with tiny carbon fibers....

mmm.... BM says "The carbon composite material consists of a high strength polymer that’s reinforced with carbon fibers".
Which looks like thermoplastics with tiny carbon fibers REINFORCING IT, (as they do with GLASS FIBERS) not like CARBON FIBERS layers filled with resins as it done with proper commonly known as "carbon fiber"...2 different materials AND process (injection moulding vs laying by hand layers of carbon fibers cloth into moulds).

Youtube is free...hence no "quality" or filters.
But Hey, the other side of the coin. These logans and such think they NEED at least a Gh5...more demand for those.
And they announced today DJI Osmo Mobile 2 (and Ronin-S by the way) at 129$!!!!..grab an iphone, filmic pro and Moondoglab and off you go..
And most of you will be aware of the swedish guy who from making shorts in his room straight to Hollywood features thanks to a youtube viral video...

Well, everything is based on a general misconception about society. I would not want to sound elitist, but hey...
Most of the people are stupid (or dumb, you pick it up) and they rather choose Gangnam Style over Macbeth.
Nothing new over here, seeing people butchered alive required huge coliseums across the roman empire. Theatres were rather small, as they are today confronted to football stadiums. That's why Vimeo will always have less views and viewers than Youtube.
"Eh, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op"
